Message from the Managing Director & CEO

It is a great honour and a pleasant experience for me to present the performance of the bank for
the year 2016 before the honourable shareholders of the Bank. Uttara Bank Limited has passed
another eventful year in terms of its development. At this august moment, I would like to express
my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to our respectable shareholders, valued clients, distinguished
patrons and well wishers whose cooperation and continuous support have helped us to achieve
the steady growth.
Bangladesh economy grew by 7.1 percent, exceeding the 7.0 percent growth target and the 6.0
percent growth trajectory. This strong growth was mainly supported by industry and service
sectors.
Lower lending rate, foreign financing facilities and political stability contributed to higher
growth against the target of private sector credit. Broad money (M2) recorded a higher growth of
16.3 percent in FY 16 against the targeted growth of 15.0 percent and 12.4 percent actual growth
in FY 15.Export grew by 8.9 percent, while import by 5.5 percent in FY 16. Remittances,
however, ended up with a negative growth of 3.0 percent during the same period. Foreign

22 Annual Report | 2016


exchange reserves reached USD 30.2 billion at the end of FY16, around 8 months of prospective
import. Average inflation in Bangladesh has declined gradually over the last couple of years.
The near and medium term outlook for Bangladesh economy looks positive, supported by higher
domestic and foreign investments, buoyant trade, capital inflows and favourable inflationary
environment.
In 2016, all out efforts were continued to progress in business aiming at improving the deposit
mix, growing and diversifying the portfolio and maintaining a steady growth in profit. The

In maintaining adequate capital against overall risk exposure of the bank, our guiding philosophy
was to strengthen risk management and internal control. Uttara Bank Limited has been
generating most of the incremental capital from retained profit (stock dividend, statutory reserve,
general reserve, etc.) to support incremental growth of Risk Weighted Assets (RWA). Uttara

against regulatory requirement of 10.625% including conservation buffer.
During the year 2016, the bank expanded its operation through opening 2 (two) branches at
different places across the country. As a result, total number of branches of the bank as on
31.12.2016 stood at 229. Moreover, a number of branches were shifted to new premises in more
suitable places and a large number of branches were furnished and modernized. More branches
will be opened in 2017 to expand businesses following the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank.
Like many other innovative banking services in the country, the bank has already introduced
SMS banking and internet banking.
Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) plays an important role in the economy in terms of
balanced and sustainable growth, employment generation and contribution to GDP. Uttara Bank
Limited strongly believes that SME sector is one of the main driving forces of economic growth
having huge potential of socio-economic development. The outstanding SME loans as on
31.12.2016 stood at Taka 49,071.40 million which was 58.90% of total loans & advances of the
bank. The bank is also considering to increase the SME portfolio to a remarkable extent position
within next two/three years.
In line with Bangladesh Bank directives, Uttara Bank has been disbursing agricultural credit
through its own branches and also using NGOs. The outstanding balance in this sector stood at
Taka 2,090.80 million at the end of 2016.
Uttara Bank Limited always extends its cooperation and generously comes forward whenever the
nation faces any disastrous situation or natural calamity. Being a socially responsible corporate
body, Uttara Bank Limited continued its CSR activities throughout the year. During the year
2016, the bank contributed to the Prime Minister’s Relief and Rehabilitation Fund, Family of

instances.The outstanding balance in this sector stood at Taka 89.88 million at the end of 2016.

REPORT ON GREEN BANKING

Green Banking is a very general term which can cover a multitude of areas from a Bank being
environmentally friendly to how their money is invested. Green Banking considers all the social
and environmental / ecological factors with an aim to protect the environment and conserve
natural resources. Due to unusual weather pattern, global warming, rising greenhouse gas,
declining air quality etc. and consequently the world is being much vulnerable, now the society
demands that businesses should also take responsibility in sustainable development and
safeguarding the planet. Despite that, all the economic activities of a country circles over the
bank. So green banking is the demand of time, can play a vital role to save the world and its
habitable environment.

Bangladesh is one of the most climate change vulnerable country. Being so, additionally the air
pollution, water pollution and scarcity, encroachment of rivers, improper disposal of industrial,
medical and house-hold wastages, deforestation and loss of open space and loss of biodiversity
make the rapid deterioration of its environmental state. In line with global development and
response to the environmental degradation, financial sector in Bangladesh should play important
roles. Green Banking makes great contribution to the transition to resource-efficient and low
carbon industries i.e. green industry and green economy in general. Green banking is a
component of the global initiative by a group of stakeholders to save environment and
sustainable development as well.

Banks hold a unique position in an economic system that can affect production, business and
other economic activities through their financing activities and thus may contribute to pollute
environment. Moreover, energy and water efficiency and waste reduction are of high concern for
many big banks. Green banks do not only improve their own standards but also affect socially
responsible behavior of other businesses. Profit alone does not hold a central focus in such
Bank’s operation. They have to perform for the betterment of the society and for sustainable
economic growth of the country by internal and external activities. Internally, the Bank have to
follow the green strategic planning towards implementation of paperless banking, on-line
banking, e-communications, effective in-house management e.g. minimizing carbon emission,
high efficient use of energy & other resources and wastages management, green marketing etc.
Externally, the Bank invests in environment friendly products & projects and controls the
projects’ contribution to the environmental degradation by ensuring the implementation of
helpful technologies relevant to the concern business. Banks measure the environmental risk
rating as the regular monitoring process of prior and post sanction of the finance. Environmental
and Social risks are now going to be counted as another core risk with existing.

Green Banking transforms the conventional bank to ethical bank, environmentally responsible
bank, socially responsible bank or sustainable bank. This deals with people, planet & profit,
social & community benefit, ensuring allocation efficiency, financial & social stability and
responsible to ethical, human and social commitment. The broad objectives of the banks are to
use their resources with responsibility avoiding wastage and giving priority to environment and
the society.

88 Annual Report | 2016


Bangladesh Bank has advised the banks to adopt a comprehensive Green Banking policy in a
formal and structured manner in line with global norms so as to protect environmental
degradation and ensure sustainable banking practices vide their BRPD circular No.2 dated 27
February 2011. Thereafter, we have also issued and circulated a “Policy Guidelines for Green
Banking” through our Instruction Circular No.1331 dated 24.01.2012. We have circulated fifty
green products through our different instruction circulars being instructed by Bangladesh Bank.
We are trying our best to increase green finance. We have already invested near about Tk.

the existing “Green Banking Department” and “CSR Unit” deploying the chief of Credit
Division as the chief of that. Accordingly, we are going to do.

The Bank assumes the commitment to sustainable development in its mission, social and
environmental responsibility is to value and ensure the integration of the social and
environmental dimensions into its strategies, policies, practices and procedures.

Annual Report | 2016 89


REPORT ON RISK MANAGEMENT

RISK

Risk is a form of uncertainty about outcomes that may have a potentially adverse effect on an
individual or an entity. Risk is subjective as perceived by the entity that would sustain the loss or
injury. In this definition, uncertainties include events which may or may not happen as well as
uncertainties caused by ambiguity or a lack of information.
In Standard 31000 (2009) and ISO Guide 73:2002, the International Standards Organization
defines risk as follows:

Risk is the potential that an event, action or inaction will adversely impact the ability of an entity
to achieve its organizational objectives.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management is the process of identifying, quantifying, and managing the risks that an
organization faces. As the outcomes of banking activities are uncertain, they are said to have
some element of risk.

Through proper risk management one can identify all possible risks, analyze them and then plan
for either contingency or mitigation methods for each. In other words, banking is a business of
risk. In Basel-I, only credit risk was considered, but in Basel-II along with credit risk, operation
risk and market risk have been brought into consideration. Besides these risks, there are some
other risk in banking sector like financial risk, concentration risk, interest rate risk, currency risk,
equity risk, liquidity risk, reputation risk and profit risk. In early 2003 and 2004, the Bangladesh
Bank issued guidelines on six core risks for effective risk management in the banking sector.
These are credit risk management, asset liability risk management, foreign exchange risk
management, internal control and compliance risk management, money laundering risk
management and information & communication technology risk management.

OBJECTIVE OF RISK MANAGEMENT OF UBL

The objective of risk management is to identify and analyze risks and manage their consequences
may cover the following issues:
a) the individuals who take or manage risks in UBL should clearly understand it;
b) UBL risk exposure is within the limits established by the board;
c) risks taking decisions in UBL are explicit and clear;
d) risk taking decisions in UBL are in line with the business strategy and objectives set by
the board;
e) the expected payoffs compensate for the risks taken; and
f) sufficient capital as a buffer is available to take risk.

90 Annual Report | 2016


RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS OF UBL

Risk Management involves identification, measurement, monitoring and controlling risks.

Risk Management Process

SOUND RISK MANAGEMENT

The key elements of a sound risk management system should encompass the following:-
a) Risk management structure with board and senior management;
b) Organizational policies, procedures and limits that have been developed and implemented
to manage
c) business operations effectively;
d) Adequate risk identification, measurement, monitoring, control and management
information systems that are in place to support all business operations; and
e) Established internal controls and the performance of comprehensive audits to detect any
deficiencies in the internal control environment in a timely fashion.
It should not be understood that risk management is only limited to the individual(s), who are
responsible for overall risk management function. Business lines are equally responsible for the
risks they are taking. Because the line personnel can understand the risks of their activities, any
lack of accountability on their part may hinder sound and effective risk management.

ORGANOGRAM OF RISK MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT OF UBL


Organogram of the Risk Management Department of the Bank in the following manner as per
instruction/ guidelines of Bangladesh Bank:-

CORE RISK MANAGEMENT

Banks face significant risk management challenges in the run-up to Basel III and other
regulation. In essence however these challenges are not far removed from core conservative
principles of banking in the key areas of capital and liquidity management and corporate
governance. In line with the Bangladesh Bank instruction Uttara Bank Limited has taken various
initiatives for strengthening risk management practices in conjunction with the business strategy

94 Annual Report | 2016


and operational activities. UBL has an integrated approach for management of risk and in this
regard it has formulated policy documents taking into account the business requirements/best
international practices and above all as per the guidelines of the Bangladesh Bank.
Banking companies in Bangladesh, while conducting day-to-day operations, usually face the
following major risks:
1. Credit risk (including concentration risk, settlement risk, Environmental Risk)
2. Market risk (including interest rate risk in the banking book, foreign exchange risk, and
equity market risk)
3. Operational Risk
4. Other risks (Liquidity, Compliance, strategic, reputation and money laundering risk)

01. CREDIT RISK

Credit Risk is defined as a potential loss arises


when a debtor or financial instrument issuer is
unwilling or unable to meet its contractual
obligation to repay the debt according to the agreed
terms with the lenders or Banks. It can occur when
the counterpart either defaulting or making late
payments of interest or principal.

The effective management of credit risk is a critical


component of a comprehensive approach to risk
management. It is essential for long term success of
any Bank. The goal of credit risk management is to maximize a Bank’s risk adjusted rate of
return by maintaining credit risk exposure within acceptable parameters. Bank need to manage
the credit risk inherent in the entire portfolio as well as the risk in individual credits or
transactions.
Credit risk management is a continuous effort of identifying, measuring, monitoring and
mitigating the credit risk in both pre sanction stage as well as post sanction stage. Following
table refers the applicability of the steps in those two stages.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

Uttara Bank Limited may include the following components in its Credit Risk Management
Framework:

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK


a) Role of the Board
b) Role of Senior Managements
c) Credit Risk Management Committee(CRMC)
d) Organizational structure
e) Systems and procedures for identification, acceptance, measurement of risks
f) Monitoring and control of risks

Annual Report | 2016 95


MEASURING CREDIT RISK
The measurement of credit risk is a vital part of credit risk management. To start with, Uttara
Bank Limited established credit risk rating framework across all type of credit activities. Among
other things, the rating framework incorporated:

Business risk Financial Risk


i. Industry characteristics i. Financial Condition
ii. Competitive position (e.g. marketing/technological edge) ii. Profitability
iii. Management iii. Capital Structure
iv. Present & Future Cash Flows

CREDIT RISK MITIGATION

Credit Risk Mitigation can be through agreements made between the bank and the borrower, or
between the bank and a third party, which lower the credit risk to the bank. The existence of
credit risk mitigation is no substitute for proper loan underwriting and loan administration.

COLLATERAL
UBL try to have as much security coverage as possible against each and every
credit facility sanctioned to the customers. Security requirement will be
determined on case to case basis based on customer’s business strength; level of
risk bank is undertaking and Banker Customer Relationship.

THIRD PARTY GUARANTEE


UBL always comfort to the guarantee of its own client and merely substitutes the
credit risk of the guarantor for that of its own client. In case of guarantees, bank
should evaluate the level of coverage being provided in relation to the credit-
quality and legal capacity of the guarantor.

CREDIT ADMINISTRATION

The credit administration function is basically a back office activity that supports and controls
extension and maintenance of credit. While developing credit administration areas, UBL ensure
the following to administrate credit properly:
Monitoring documentation, contractual requirements, legal covenants, collateral, etc.
The accuracy and timeliness of information provided to management information systems.
The adequacy of control over all “back office” procedures and
compliance with prescribed management policies and procedures as well as applicable
laws and regulations

CREDIT MONITORING & CONTROL


UBL develop and implement comprehensive procedures and information systems to monitor the
condition of each individual credit across various portfolios. Bank has enunciated a system that
enables to monitor quality of the credit portfolio on a day to day basis and take remedial
measures as and when any deterioration occurs.

96 Annual Report | 2016


These procedures will define criteria for identifying and reporting potential problem credits and
other transactions to ensure that they are subject to more frequent monitoring as well as possible
corrective action, classification and/or provisioning. Establishing an efficient and effective credit
monitoring system would help senior management to monitor the overall quality of the total
credit portfolio and its trends and helps to reassess credit strategy/policy accordingly before
encountering any major setback.

CREDIT CONCENTRATION RISK

Concentration risk generally designates the risk arising from an uneven distribution of
counterparties in credit or any other business relationships or from a concentration in business
sectors or geographical regions which is capable of generating losses large enough to jeopardize
an institution’s solvency.
Concentration risk arises when any bank invests its most or all of the assets to single or few
individuals or entities or sectors or instruments. Downturn in concentrated activities and/or areas
may cause huge losses to a bank relative to its capital and can threaten the bank’s health or
ability to maintain its core operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Climate change is a global physical phenomenon with very drastic


and adverse environmental, social and human consequences.
Bangladesh is already experiencing climate-induced extreme
weather events, e.g. cyclones, floods and droughts periodically. Due
to climate change, these are expected to be more intense and more
frequent. Borrowers whose operations are vulnerable to extreme weather events are likely to be
affected. Climate change impacts can lead to the borrowers not being able to continue the
business activity and hence unable to service / repay the financing taken from the Banks/FIs.
Giving more emphasis on the above topics, Bangladesh Bank vide BRPD circular no.01 dated
30.01.2011 forwarded the guidelines on Environmental Risk Management (ERM) to Banks/
NBFIS for the awareness and preparedness for easy adoption and smooth compliance of the
same which was developed by Bangladesh in collaboration with international Finance
corporation. To comply with the Bangladesh Bank guidelines and adoption thereof in our bank,
Uttara Bank Limited prepared its own guidelines. The main purposes of this guideline are to
make the executives and officers of our bank well conversant with the policy and strategy of the
bank regarding the environment risk management in credit operation.
This Guideline will be the integral part of the Bank’s Credit Risk Management. It should
necessarily be used for all individual customers (corporate, institutional, personal, small and
medium enterprise) whose aggregate facilities are above the following financing thresholds:

For Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), financing > BDT 2.5 million
For Corporate, financing > BDT 10 million. and
For real estate financing > BDT 10 million.

Annual Report | 2016 97


Any credit proposal of the bank falling above the financing thresholds mentioned above must
come with EnvRR on (Environmental Risk Rating) determined by administering of the General
EDD checklist and sector specific EDD provided by Bangladesh Bank. It may be mentioned here
that our green banking department is so much aware of environmental risk. They have already
taken many steps to educate our employees and clients.

02. MARKET RISK

Market Risk can be defined as the risk of losses in


both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions
arising from adverse movements in market prices.
From a banks perspective Market Risk stems from all
the positions included in banks' trading book as well
as from commodity and foreign exchange risk
positions in the whole balance sheet.
Market risk can be subdivided into three categories
depending on risk factors:
a) Interest Rate Risk,
b) Foreign Exchange Risk, and
c) Equity Price Risk.

A) INTEREST RATE RISK


The potential losses from unexpected changes in interest rate which can significantly alter bank
profitability & market value of equity. The amount interest rate risk is a function of the
magnitude and direction of interest rate changes and the size and maturity structure of the
mismatch position.
Such risk can’t be eliminated as re-pricing period of assets and liabilities are different. Other than
re-pricing issue, sources of interest risk are: yield curve risk, basis risk, and embedded options.
The immediate impact of a variation in interest is on the bank’s net interest income, while a long
term impact is on bank’s net worth since economic value of banks assets, liabilities and off
balance sheet exposures are affected.

MEASUREMENT OF INTEREST RATE RISK


For measuring interest-rate risk bank use a variety of methods. The level of sophistication and
complexity of individual methods varies. In professional literature the most frequently stated are
the analysis of maturity and re-pricing tables, or simply termed gap analysis, the duration gap
method, the basis point value method, and simulation methods. Bank may use a combination of
these techniques in managing its interest rate risk exposure.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT & CONTROL


Bank’s interest rate risk management involves the application of following basic elements in the
management of assets, liabilities, and OBS instruments. Principles of interest rate risk
management include:

98 Annual Report | 2016


a) Appropriate board and senior management oversight;
b) Adequate risk management policies and procedures;
c) Appropriate risk measurement, monitoring, and control functions; and
d) Comprehensive internal controls and independent audits.
The bank measures the impact of interest rate risk via GAP analysis and GAP is categorized as
positive gap and negative gap. Positive gap = Rate Sensitive Asset (RSA) less Rate Sensitive
Liabilities (RSL) whereas Negative gap = Rate Sensitive Asset (RSA) less Rate Sensitive
Liabilities (RSL). Bank has developed and implemented effective and comprehensive procedures
and information systems to manage and control interest rate risk in accordance with its interest
rate risk policies. Internal inspections/audits are a key element in managing and controlling
interest rate risk management program.
Moreover, to measure and control interest rate risk the following facts/figurers/ratios are
assessed in monthly ALCO papers.
i) Interest Rate Break Down: Interest Rate Break Down = Interest rate break up for Assets
and Liabilities Net
ii) Interest Income: Net Interest Income = Total Interest Income Minus Total Interest
Expenses
iii) Net Interest Margin: Net Interest Margin = Net Interest Income / Total Average
Earning Assets
iv) Interest Earning Assets/Total Assets
v) Cost of Fund: (Weighted average Cost of deposit + Weighted average Cost of borrowing
+ Admin cost).
vi) Average Interest Rate of Loans :(on realized amount of Interest)
vii) Average Interest Rate of Deposits: (on payment amount of Interest)
viii) Tools to minimize Interest Rate Risk such as VaR ( Unavailability of software and & data)

B) FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that a business’s financial performance or position will be
affected by fluctuations in the exchange rates between currencies. The risk is most acute for
businesses that deal in more than one currency.
Foreign exchange risk is the risk of an investment's value changing due to changes in
currency exchange rates. Foreign exchange risk is the risk that an investor will have to close out a
long or short position in a foreign currency at a loss due to an adverse movement in exchange rates.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK MANAGEMENT


Limits on a bank's foreign exchange exposure reflects both the specific foreign currency
exposures that arise from daily foreign currency dealing or trading activities (transactional
positions) and those exposures that arise from a bank's overall asset/liability infrastructure, both
on- and off-balance sheet (structural or translational positions). The establishment of aggregate
foreign exchange limits that reflect both foreign currency dealing and structural positions helps
to ensure that the size and composition of both positions are appropriately and prudently
managed and controlled and do not overextend a bank's overall foreign exchange exposure.

Annual Report | 2016 99


Moreover, In Charge of Back office, Foreign Exchange is assisted by his/her officers/staffs to
perform following functions / responsibilities:
Input, verification and settlement of deals.
Preparation of currency position.
Managing discrepancies and disputes.
Reconcile all foreign currency Nostro accounts.
Immediately advise USD/BDT or cross currency dealer of any discrepancy.
Track for reconcilement of any unmatched item.
Claim or arrange payment of good value for any late settlements.
Investigate and match un-reconciled amounts.
Advise USD/BDT and cross currency dealer of correct currency positions prior to
commencement of day’s dealing activities.
Settle for all foreign currency deals done by USD/BDT and cross currency dealers.
Send and receive confirmations of all deals done by USD/BDT and cross currency dealers.
Check foreign currency Nostro statements for settlements of major items.
Advise dealers of any discrepancy in settlement.
Prepare and send daily Exchange Position to Bangladesh Bank.
All related accounting entries.
Generate various MIS.
Send all required regulatory reports at required intervals.
Respond to various queries from regulators regarding reports.
Coordinate with other departments in receiving required information for reporting purpose.
Create awareness among various related departments of the importance of effective and
accurate reporting.
Monitor limits utilizations against all internal and regulatory risk limits.
Reporting of limit excesses etc.)

C) EQUITY PRICE RISK


Equity price risk is the risk of losses caused by changes in equity prices.
These losses could arise because of
changes in the value of listed shares held directly by the bank
changes in the value of listed shares held by a bank subsidiary
changes in the value of listed shares used as collateral for loans from a Bank a bank
subsidiary, whether or not the loan was made for the purpose of buying the share and
changes in the value of unlisted shares.

EFFECTIVE EQUITY PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT

Equity investment follows the risk appetite.


Management should have broad capital markets experience
Management should establish strong policy controls and risk limits for capital Market.
Risk management personnel should have an in-depth understanding of equity market
risk and risk management principles, including VaR.

100 Annual Report | 2016


There should be formal procedures to report how and why exceptions have occurred,
and how they have been resolved.
Management reports should be prepared independently of the investing and trading
function and should provide a comprehensive and accurate summary of investing and
trading activity.
Risk monitoring, valuation, and control functions should be independent of the
trading and investing functions
measurement of how much and why profitability, balance sheet capital, and
regulatory capital will be affected by major declines in the equity market overall, or in
the value of individual shares

MEASURING EQUITY PRICE RISK

Value at Risk (VaR) is generally accepted and widely used tool for measuring market risk inherent
in trading portfolios. VaR summarizes the predicted maximum loss (or worst loss) over a target
horizon within a given confidence level. Generally there are three methods of computing VaR:

Parametric or variance-covariance method


Historical simulation method
Monte Carlo simulation method

03. OPERATIONAL RISK

Operational Risk is the risk of financial losses


related to breakdown in internal control and
corporate governance. Such breakdown can be
the result of human error, inadequate or failed
internal processes and technical systems, fraud,
or from any other adverse external events
Operational risk is defined as the risk of
unexpected losses due to physical catastrophe,
technical failure and human error in the
operation of a bank, including fraud, failure of
management, internal process errors and unforeseeable external events. It is clear that operational
risk differs from other risks in that it is typically not directly taken in return for an expected
reward, but exists in the natural course of corporate activity, and that this affects the risk
management process. At the same time, failure to properly manage operational risk can result in
a misstatement of a bank's risk profile and expose the bank to significant losses.

Operational risk can be subdivided into two components:


Operational strategic risk and
Operational failure risk. It is also defined as internal operational risk.

Annual Report | 2016 101


OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY

RISK MONITORING
An effective monitoring process is essential for adequately managing operational risk. Regular
monitoring activities can offer the advantage of quickly detecting and correcting deficiencies in
the policies, processes and procedures for managing operational risk. Promptly detecting and
addressing these deficiencies can substantially reduce the potential frequency and/or severity of a
loss event. The personals, involve in operational risk, report regular to senior management and
the board that supports the proactive management of operational risk.
Senior management established a program to:
a) Monitor assessment of the exposure to all types of operational risk faced by the bank;
b) Assess the quality and appropriateness of mitigating actions, including the extent to which
identifiable risks can be transferred outside the bank; and
c) Ensure that adequate controls and systems are in place to identify and address problems
before they become major concerns.

RISK CONTROL
Operational risks are analyzed through review of
Departmental Control Function Check List (DCFCL)

04. LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk is the risk that a company or bank may be unable to meet short term financial
demands. This usually occurs due to the inability to convert a security or hard asset to cash
without a loss of capital and/or income in the process.

CAUSES OF LIQUIDITY RISK

Imbalance between maturity dates of the Assets and Liabilities.


High proportion of Liabilities subject to immediate repayment
Unexpected Deposit drains
Sensitivity to change in Interest Rates

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS OF BANK

There are three alternative strategies to manage the Liquidity Risk which are as follows:
a) Asset Liquidity Management Policy
b) Liability Management Policy
c) Balance Liquidity Management Policy
Responsibility of managing and controlling liquidity of the bank lies with Asset Liability
Committee (ALCO) and the committee meets at least once in every month. Asset and Liability
Management (ALM) Department of the Treasury Division closely monitors and controls
liquidity requirements on a daily basis by appropriate coordination of funding activities and they
are primarily responsible for management of liquidity in the bank. Asset & Liability
Management Department has developed own customized ALM Risk ranking Model to measure
ALM Risk periodically. This Model has been ratified by the Board of Directors in its meeting
held on 16.07.2014 vide Board Memorandum No. 234, dated 13.07.2014
Moreover, this model has been submitted to Bangladesh Bank as the part of ICAAP
Supplementary Documents and ICAAP reporting. ALM Department performs the following
activities to minimize the Liquidity Risk-
Maintenance of CRR and SLR.
Investment in Treasury Bills/Bond Portfolio.
Repo/Reverse Repo activities.
Propose to the ALCO (through the head of treasury) of statutory investments.

Annual Report | 2016 103


Call money activities.
Spot any arbitrage opportunities and take advantage.
Remaining within all counter party limits at all times.
Operating within all given balance sheet gap limits.
Profitably trading.
Primary dealership activities.
Money Market Product Pricing
Other investment in local currency
Adherence to various internal as well as regulatory policies
Maintenance of CDBL Software.
Daily report to Head of Treasury.
ALM Department also calculates the followings to manage the liquidity risk:-
Snap Liquidity Ratio = Liquid Assets/Total external Liabilities
Short Term Borrowings/Liquid Assets Ratio
Volatile Liability/Total Assets Ratio
Total Loans/Total Deposits Ratio
Management Forecast Liquidity Ratios
Composition of Liquid Assets (Local)
Composition of Liquid Assets (External)
Volatile Liability dependence.
Size of Deposits

05. MONEY LAUNDERING RISK

Money Laundering means:


Properties acquired or earned directly or indirectly through illegal means;
Illegal transfer, conversion, concealment of location or assistance in the above act of the
properties acquired or earned directly or indirectly through legal or illegal means.
Uttara Bank Ltd. never conceals the true source of funds. It is an objective of the Bank to prevent
criminals from using the bank’s facilities, systems and services to conceal their illegal activity.
Therefore, the Bank has a process which allows for identification of unusual transactions, pattern
and activity.
Uttara Bank Ltd is committed to continue or conduct its business in conformity with high ethical
standards in the countries in which it operates business, and to fully adhere to all laws and
regulations pertaining to Banks. With a view to ensuring that the Bank is not used as a channel
for criminal funds, all the branches and concerned Divisions at Head office of our Bank continue
to make reasonable efforts in:
A. Establishing banking relationship according to the Bank’s Customer Acceptance Policy.
B. Determining true identity of all customers and beneficial owners of the products and
services of the Bank.
C. Assessing the level of risk exposure of the client and product.
D. Driving appropriate security measures on the basis of risk analysis.

104 Annual Report | 2016


E. Ongoing monitoring of client’s account activities and transactions to detect unusual
/suspicious transactions or activities.
F. Reporting all the suspicious transactions, pattern and activities to the competent authority.
G. Giving special attention to correspondent banking business.
H. Timely submitting periodical statements and necessary information as per requirements
to the competent authority.
I. Imparting training on the issue of AML & ATF for all the employees (including trainees
and temporary personnel and taking various steps for building up awareness among the
customers for prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing.
J. Preserving all relevant records, documents, papers of the clients for a minimum period of
5 years from the date of closure of banking relationship with them.)

06. INTERNAL CONTROL & COMPLIANCE RISK


Internal control is the process, effected by a company's board of directors, management and other
personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives in
the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, the reliability of financial reporting and
compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and internal policies.
Internal controls are the policies and procedures established and implemented alone, or in
concert with other policies or procedures, to manage and control a particular risk or business
activity, or combination of risks or business activities, to which the company is exposed or in
which it is engaged.)

RISK RECOGNITION AND ASSESSMENT

An effective internal control system continually recognizes and assesses all of the
material risks that could adversely affect the achievement of the Bank's goals.
Effective risk assessment must identify and consider both internal and external factors"
Internal factors include complexity of the organization structure, the nature of the bank's
activities, the quality of personnel, organization changes and also employee turnover.
External factors include fluctuating economic conditions, changes in the industry, socio-
political realities and technological advances.
Risk assessment by Internal Control System differs from the business risk management
process which typically focuses more on the review of business strategies developed to
maximize the risk/ reward trade off within the different areas of the bank. The risk
assessment by Internal Control focuses more on compliance with regulatory
requirements, social, ethical and environmental risks those affect the banking industry.

MONITORING ACTIVITIES AND CORRECTING DEFICIENCIES

The overall effectiveness of the bank’s internal controls is monitored on an ongoing


basis. Monitoring of key risks is part of the daily activities of the bank as well as periodic
evaluations by the business lines and internal audit team.

Annual Report | 2016 105


There is an effective and comprehensive internal audit of the internal control system
carried out by operationally independent, appropriately trained and competent staff
specially designated by the Management. The significant deficiencies identified by the
audit team reports to the Board on a periodic basis. Such report is forwarded to the Audit
Committee of the Board for review.
Internal control deficiencies, whether identified by internal audit or other control
personnel is reported in a timely and prompt manner to the appropriate management level
and addressed immediately. Material internal control deficiencies are reported to senior
management and the board of directors.

INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT)

With the increasing use of Information and Communication Technology in the activities of the
Banks, the system of Information and Communication Technology risk management has become
important. The process deals with finding out the weakness in a particular operation and the
using most suitable strategy to deal with it.

A risk is the act of violating an explicit or implied security policy. The following actions can be
classified as incidents:

1. Attempts to gain unauthorized access to a system or its data; masquerading, spoofing as


authorized users
2. Unwanted disruption or denial of service
3. The unauthorized use of a system for the processing or storage of data by
authorized/unauthorized users
4. Changes to system hardware, firmware or software characteristics and data without the
application owner’s knowledge
5. Existence of unknown user accounts
(Risks could result in un-authorized access, disclosure of information, corruption of information
or denial of service)

RISK IDENTIFICATION
Users and System Administrator follow these policies in identifying a risk:
Abnormal system resource usage: If the CPU, memory utilization on a system is very high,
the system could have been compromised. Attackers use compromised systems for spreading
viruses or attacking other machines leading to high resource utilization. System
Administrator tracks resource utilization and analyze reasons for any abnormal usage.
Users experience slow response: End users could experience slow response times if the
application servers or the network has been compromised and is being used for malicious
purposes. Virus or worm outbreak could lead to network congestion that would in-turn
cause application responses to be slow and unstable. End users report any drastic drop in
application response or system stability to System Administrator.

106 Annual Report | 2016


Data corruption: Unauthorized modification or deletion of data or inability to retrieve
data in correct format or web site defacement.
Changes in passwords and user-id: System users report to System Administrator if they
find the passwords do not work. Any changes in user passwords, addition/deletion of
user accounts could be indications of system compromise.
Traffic on non-essential ports: If there is network traffic on ports that are not used by
any of the internal applications this could be signs of a backdoor application in the
network. The traffic is tracked and reported by the monitoring team. If the backdoor
application tries to traverse the firewall, these are tracked by the firewall logs.
Existence of unknown user accounts: Normally, attackers create new accounts on the
systems after they are compromised. Existence of unknown user accounts, especially
those with administrative privileges, could indicate that system has been attacked.

RISK PREVENTION

Risk handling process is to conduct a detailed analysis to identify the strong and weak points in
the existing ICT infrastructure and policies. If needed, ICT Division recommends for necessary
changes to security policies, standards and procedures. If any immediate steps need to be taken
to prevent re-occurrence of risk, the same are communicated to all relevant personnel by ICT
Division. ICT Division maintains a database of risks and solutions. This helps in providing
quicker solutions if the same or similar risk happens again. Based on the learning from the risk,
ICT Division recommends to the Management of the Bank for procuring additional security
services and solutions (if required) for improving security. Moreover,
To minimize and control the IT risk, our Bank has strengthened ICT Security
infrastructure, develop Business Continuity Plan (BCP).
The BCP is formulated to cover operational risks and taking into account the potential for
wide area disaster, data centre disaster and the recovery plan. The BCP takes into account
the backup and recovery process.
To comply with the ICT guideline of Bangladesh Bank, an independent audit team has
been formed under Internal Control & Compliance Division.

RISK RECOVERY

Depending on the nature of the risk and based on the action plan drawn up by ICT Division, all
system personnel and security professionals recover the risk. Recovery involves identifying and
eliminating the cause of the risk. This could involve a series of activities including implementing
additional security controls, installation of new patches, recovery of systems backups, and
reconfiguration of security devices including Firewall rule base and intrusion detection system alerts.

STRESS TESTING IN RISK MANAGEMENT

Stress testing is a simulation technique, which is used to determine the reactions of different
financial institutions under a set of exceptional, but plausible assumptions through a series of

Annual Report | 2016 107


battery of tests. At institutional level, stress testing techniques provide a way to quantify the
impact of changes in a number of risk factors on the assets and liabilities portfolio of the
institution. For instance, a portfolio stress test makes a rough estimate of the value of portfolio
using a set of exceptional but plausible events in abnormal markets. These tests help in managing
risk within a financial institution to ensure optimum allocation of capital across its risk profile.
The system level stress tests also complement the institutional level stress testing by providing
information about the sensitivity of the overall financial system to a number of risk factors.
These tests help the regulators to identify structural vulnerabilities and the overall risk exposure
that could cause disruption of financial markets. Its prominence is on potential externalities and
market failures.

TECHNIQUES OF STRESS TESTING

a) Simple Sensitivity Analysis (single factor tests) measures the change in the value of
portfolio for shocks of various degrees to different independent risk factors while the
underlying relationships among the risk factors are not considered.
b) Scenario Analysis encompasses the situation where a change in one risk factor affects a
number of other risk factors or there is a simultaneous move in a group of risk factors.
Scenarios can be designed to encompass both movements in a group of risk factors and
the changes in the underlying relationships between these variables (for example
correlations and volatilities).
c) Extreme Value/ Maximum Shock Scenario measure the change in the risk factor in the
worst-case scenario, i.e. the level of shock which entirely wipes out the capital.

UTTARA BANK LIMITED

Annual Report | 2016 109


INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS

UTTARA BANK LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Uttara Bank Ltd. and its
subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) as well as the separate financial statements of Uttara
Bank Ltd. (the “Bank”) which comprise the consolidated and separate Balance Sheets as at 31
December 2016, consolidated and separate profit and loss accounts, statements of changes in
equity and cash flow statements for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information disclosed in notes 1 to 44.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management of the Bank is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated
financial statements of the Group and also separate financial statements of the Bank that give a true and
fair view in accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRS) as explained in Note
3.01 and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
consolidated financial statements of the Group and also separate financial statements of the Bank that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Bank Companies Act, 1991(as
amended in the year 2013) and the local central bank (Bangladesh Bank) Regulations require the
Management to ensure effective internal audit, internal control and risk management functions of the
Bank. The Management is also required to make a self-assessment on the effectiveness of anti-fraud
internal controls and report to Bangladesh Bank on instances of fraud and forgeries.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements of the Group and
the separate financial statements of the Bank based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing (BSA). Those standards require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements of the Group and the separate financial statements of the Bank are
free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements of the Group and separate financial statements of the Bank. The
procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the separate financial
statements of the Bank, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of consolidated financial statements of the
Group and separate financial statements of the Bank that give a true and fair view in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated
financial statements of the Group and the separate financial statements of the Bank.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of the Group and also separate financial statements of the
Bank are prepared and maintained according to the Bangladesh Accounting Standard (BAS) and the

3.00 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis for Preparation of Financial
Statements
3.01 Statement of Compliance
The financial statements of the Bank are prepared in accordance with Bangladesh
Financial Reporting Standards (BFRSs) and the requirements of the Bank Companies Act
1991, the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank, the Companies Act 1994,
the Securities and Exchange Rules 1987. In case any requirement of the Bank Companies
Act 1991, and provisions and circulars issued by Bangladesh Bank differ with those of
BFRSs, the requirements of the Bank Companies Act 1991, and provisions and circulars
issued by Bangladesh Bank shall prevail. Material departures from the requirements of
BFRSs are as follows:

i) Investment in Shares and Securities


BFRS: As per requirements of BAS 39 investment in shares and securities generally falls
either under “at fair value through profit and loss account” or under “available for sale”
where any change in the fair value (as measured in accordance with BFRS 13) at the
year-end is taken to profit and loss account or revaluation reserve respectively.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003 investments in quoted
shares and unquoted shares are revalued at the year end at market price and as per book value
of last audited balance sheet respectively. Provision should be made for any loss arising from
diminution in value of investment otherwise investments are recognised at cost.

ii) Revaluation Gains/Losses on Government Securities


BFRS: As per requirement of BAS 39 where securities will fall under the category of
Held for Trading (HFT), any change in the fair value of held for trading assets is
recognised through profit and loss account. Securities designated as Held to Maturity
(HTM) are measured at amortised cost method and interest income is recognised through
the profit and loss account.
Bangladesh Bank: HFT securities are revalued on the basis of mark to market and at
year end any gains on revaluation of securities which have not matured as at the balance
sheet date are recognised in other reserves as a part of equity and any losses on
revaluation of securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date are charged
in the profit and loss account. Interest on HFT securities including amortisation of
discount are recognised in the profit and loss account. HTM securities which have not
matured as at the balance sheet date are amortised at the year end and gains or losses on
amortisation are recognised in other reserve as a part of equity.

iii) Provision on Loans and Advances


BFRS: As per BAS 39 an entity should start the impairment assessment by considering
whether objective evidence of impairment exists for financial assets that are individually
significant. For financial assets that are not individually significant, the assessment can be
performed on an individual or collective (portfolio) basis.

Annual Report | 2016 129


Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular No.14 (23 September 2012), BRPD circular
No. 19 (27 December 2012), BRPD circular No. 05 (29 May 2013), BRPD circular No.
16 (18 November 2014) and BRPD circular No. 08 (02 August 2015) a general provision
at 0.25% to 5% under different categories of unclassified investments (good and special
mentioned accounts) has to be maintained regardless of objective evidence of
impairment. Also provision for sub-standard loans, doubtful loans and bad losses has to
be provided at 5% to 20%, 50% and 100% respectively for loans and advances depending
on the duration of overdue. Again as per BRPD circular no. 10 dated 18 September 2007
and BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23 September 2012, a general provision at 1% is
required to be provided for all off-balance sheet exposures. Such provision policies are
not specifically in line with those prescribed by BAS 39.

iv) Recognition of Interest in Suspense


BFRS: Loans and advances to customers are generally classified as 'loans and
receivables' as per BAS 39 and interest income is recognised through effective interest
rate method over the term of the loan. Once a loan is impaired, interest income is
recognised in profit and loss account on the same basis based on revised carrying amount.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23 September 2012, once a loan
is classified, interest on such loan are not allowed to be recognised as income, rather the
corresponding amount needs to be credited to an interest suspense account, which is
presented as liability in the balance sheet.

v) Other Comprehensive Income


BFRS: As per BAS 1 Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) is a component of financial
statements or the elements of OCI are to be included in a single Other Comprehensive
Income statement.
Bangladesh Bank: Bangladesh Bank has issued templates for financial statements which
will strictly be followed by all banks. The templates of financial statements issued by
Bangladesh Bank do not include Other Comprehensive Income nor are the elements of
Other Comprehensive Income allowed to be included in a single Other Comprehensive
Income (OCI) Statement. As such the Bank does not prepare the other comprehensive
income statement. However, elements of OCI, if any, are shown in the statements of
changes in equity.

vi) Financial Instruments – Presentation and Disclosure


In several cases Bangladesh Bank guidelines categorise, recognise, measure and present
financial instruments differently from those prescribed in BAS 39. As such full
disclosure and presentation requirements of BFRS 7 and BAS 32 cannot be made in the
financial statements.

vii) Financial Guarantees


BFRS: As per BAS 39, financial guarantees are contracts that require an entity to make
specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor
fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee liabilities are recognised initially at their fair value, and the initial fair

130 Annual Report | 2016


value is amortised over the life of the financial guarantee. The financial guarantee
liability is subsequently carried at the higher of this amortised amount and the present
value of any expected payment when a payment under the guarantee has become
probable. Financial guarantees are included within other liabilities.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14, financial guarantees such as letter of credit, letter
of guarantee, acceptance and endorsement will be treated as off-balance sheet items. No
liability is recognised for the guarantee except the cash margin.

viii) Cash and Cash Equivalent


BFRS: Cash and cash equivalent items should be reported as cash item as per BAS 7.
Bangladesh Bank: Some cash and cash equivalent items such as ‘money at call and on
short notice’, treasury bills, Bangladesh Bank bills and prize bond are not shown as cash
and cash equivalents. Money at call and on short notice presented on the face of the
balance sheet, and treasury bills, prize bonds are shown in investments.

ix) Non-Banking Asset


BFRS: No indication of Non-banking asset is found in any BFRS.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14, there must exist a face item named Non-banking asset.

x) Cash Flow Statement


BFRS: The Cash flow statement can be prepared using either the direct method or the
indirect method. The presentation is selected to present these cash flows in a manner that is
most appropriate for the business or industry. The method selected is applied consistently.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14, cash flow is the mixture of direct and indirect methods.

xi) Balance with Bangladesh Bank: (Cash Reserve Requirement)


BFRS: Balance with Bangladesh Bank should be treated as other asset as it is not
available for use in day to day operations as per BAS 7.
Bangladesh Bank: Balance with Bangladesh Bank is treated as cash and cash equivalents.

xii) Presentation of Intangible Asset


BFRS: An intangible asset must be identified and recognised, and the disclosure must be
given as per BAS 38.
Bangladesh Bank: There is no regulation for intangible assets in BRPD 14.

xiii) Off-Balance Sheet Items


BFRS: There is no concept of off-balance sheet items in any BFRS; hence there is no
requirement for disclosure of off-balance sheet items on the face of the balance sheet.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14, off balance sheet items (e.g. Letter of credit, Letter
of guarantee etc.) must be disclosed separately on the face of the balance sheet.

xiv) Provision netted of against Loans and Advances


BFRS: Loans and Advances should be presented in net of provision.

BASEL III PILLAR III
MARKET DISCIPLINE
OF
UTTARA BANK LIMITED

Annual Report | 2016 205


Disclosure on Risk Based Capital
Annual Disclosure for the year ended December 31, 2016

Foreword
Meaningful information about common key risk metrics to market participants is a fundamental tenet
of a sound banking system that reduces information asymmetry and helps promote comparability of
banks’ risk profiles within and across jurisdictions. Pillar 3 of the Basel framework aims to promote
market discipline through regulatory disclosure requirements. These requirements enable market
participants to access key information relating to a bank’s regulatory capital and risk exposures in
order to increase transparency and confidence about a bank’s exposure to risk and the overall
adequacy of its regulatory capital.

With a view to ensuring transparency in the financial sector, in line with the recommendations of
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision popularly known as Basel Accords, Bangladesh Bank has
formulated “Guidelines on Risk Based Capital Adequacy” in terms of Bangladesh context. Under
this guideline, market disclosure occupies a decisive share since the public disclosure of prudential
information is an important component of Basel-III framework of capital measurement and capital
adequacy. This disclosure aims at enhancing transparency in the financial market of Bangladesh
through setting up minimum requirement for disclosure of information on the risk management and
capital adequacy.

The following detailed qualitative and quantitative disclosures of the Bank are furnished in
accordance with the BRPD Circular No: 18 of 21st December, 2014 to enable our stakeholders make
informed assessment regarding the bank's financial health and to identify the risks relating to the
assets and capital adequacy as on December 31, 2016.

Uniformity and Validation:


The quantitative disclosures are made on the basis of consolidated audited financial statements of
UBL and its Subsidiaries as at and for the year ended December 31, 2016; prepared under relevant
International Accounting & Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) and related circulars/ instructions issued by Bangladesh Bank
from time to time.

The assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the subsidiaries are combined with those of the
parent company (UBL), eliminating intra-company transactions. Assets of the subsidiaries were risk
weighted and equities of subsidiaries were crossed out with the investment of UBL while
consolidating.

The information presented in this Pillar 3 Report is not required to be, and has not been, subject to
external audit. UBL has not omitted any disclosures on the grounds that the information may be
proprietary or confidential.

So, information presented in the ‘Quantitative Disclosures’ section can easily be verified and
validated with corresponding information presented in the consolidated audited financial statements
2016 of UBL.

6. Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB)


6.1. Qualitative Disclosure
a) The general qualitative disclosure requirement including the nature of IRRBB and key
assumptions, including assumptions regarding loan prepayments and behaviour of
non-maturity deposits, and frequency of IRRBB measurement.

Interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB) is the current or potential risk to the
interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities of a bank’s balance sheet as well as the off-
balance sheet items arising out of adverse or volatile movements in market interest rate.
Volatile movements of market interest rate adversely affect the value of interest rate
sensitive assets and liabilities that consequentially results in the loss of equity value.

IRRBB arises from differences between the timing of rate changes and the timing of cash
-pricing risk); from changing rate relationships among yield curves that affect
bank activities (basis risk); from changing rate relationships across the range of maturities
(yield curve risk); and from interest rate related options embedded in bank products
(option risk).

The process of interest rate risk management by the bank involves determination of the
business objectives, expectation about future macro-economic variables & understanding
the money markets and debt market in which it operates. Interest rate risk management

214 Annual Report | 2016


also includes quantifying the appetite for market risk to which bank is comfortable. The
Bank uses the following two (02) approach to manage interest rate risks inherent in the
Balance sheet:
Simple Sensitivity Analysis and
Duration Gap Analysis

7. Market Risk
7.1. Qualitative Disclosure
a) Views of BOD on trading/investment activities

Market Risk, possibility of losing assets in balance sheet & off-balance sheet positions
arising out of volatility in market variables i.e. interest rate, exchange rate and price.
Interest Rate risk arises due to changes in yield curves, credit spreads and implied
volatilities on interest rate options.
Equity Position Risk arises due to changes in equity price, indices, baskets & implied
volatilities on related options.
Foreign Exchange Risk arises due to changes in exchange rates & implied volatilities
on foreign exchange options.
Commodity Risk; arises due to changes in exchange rates & implied volatilities on
foreign exchange options.
All Market risk related policies/ guidelines are duly approved by the BOD. The BOD sets
limit, review & update the compliance on regular basis targeting to mitigate market risk.

b) Methods used to measure Market risk

Bank applies maturity method in measuring interest rate risk in respect of securities in
trading book. The capital charge for entire market risk exposure is computed under the
standardized approach using the maturity method and in accordance with the guideline
issued by Bangladesh Bank.

c) Market Risk Management System

To manage the interest rate risk, ALCO regularly monitors various ratios and parameters.
Of the ratios, the key ratios that ALCO regularly monitors are Liquid asset to Total
Assets, Volatile liability dependency ratio, and MTF Ratio, Snap Liquidity Ratio and

Annual Report | 2016 215


Short term borrowing to Liquid assets ratio. ALCO also regularly monitors the interest
rate sensitive gap and duration gap of total portfolio.

To manage foreign exchange risk of the bank, the Bank has adopted the limit by central
bank to monitor foreign exchange open positions. Foreign exchange risk is computed on
the sum of net short positions or net long positions, whichever is higher of the foreign
currency positions held by the Bank.

d) Policies and processes for mitigating Market Risk

To mitigate Market Risk, Asset & Liability Management Department (ALMD) takes
following measures:
Interest Rate Risk Management: ALMD reviews the risks of changes in income of
the Bank as a result of movements in market interest rates. In the usual course of
business, the Bank tries to minimize the mismatch between the duration of interest
sensitive assets and liabilities. Effective interest rate management is done through
market analysis and Gap analysis.
Foreign Exchange Risk Management: It is the risk that arises from potential
fluctuations in the exchange rate, adverse exchange positioning or change in the
market. ALMD mitigates this risk by supervising day to day trading activities and by
setting limits.
Equity Risk Management: Equity risk is defined as losses due to changes in market
price of the equity held. To measure and identify the risk, market valuation of the
share portfolio is done.

216 Annual Report | 2016


organization and covers a wide spectrum of issues. We seek to minimize exposure to
operational risk, subject to cost benefit trade-offs. The bank captures some pre identified
risk events associated with all functional departments of the bank through standard
reporting format.

All the policies/ guidelines including Internal Control and Compliances and Board audit
are duly approved by BOD. Audit Committee of the Board directly oversees the activities
of internal control and compliances aiming to check all types of lapses and irregularities
inherent with operational activities of the Bank and thereby may create a notable
downfall risk for the Bank.

Operational Risk includes legal risk, but excludes strategic and reputation risk. It arises
from:
Transaction Processing
Operation Control
Technology and Systems
Risks of Physical and Logical Security
Unique Risk arises due to Outsourcing

Performance Gap of Executives and Staffs


The BOD of the Bank is always keen to provide a competitive, attractive and
handsome remuneration package for its employees. Besides, the recruitment policies
of the Bank always emphasize on sorting out fresh graduate from the reputed
universities and nurture them until transformation to a ‘Human Capital’ of highest
quality. Besides, the Bank’s name and fame as top tier. Bank of the country acts as
moral boosting factor for the employees. An accommodating, welcoming, co-
operative and congenial work atmosphere motivates its employees to act as a family
towards achievement of goal. As such, there exists no performance gap in the bank.

Potential External Events


We understand that business operates in an umbrella of inter connected socio-
economic and political environment. Few externalities affect business performance
directly such as macro-economic conditions, regulatory changes, change in demand,
status of infrastructure whereas few factors affect operations of the business directly
or indirectly such as force shut down due to political instability, threat of vandalism
to the bank’s sophisticated physical outlets including IT equipment’s etc.

Operational Risk Mitigation Policies and Procedure


Operational Risks results from inadequate or failed internal process, people and
systems or from external events. Within the Bank, Operational Risk may arise from
negligence and dishonesty of the employees, lack of management supervision,
inadequate operational control, lack of physical security, poor technology, lack of
automation, non- compliance of regulatory requirements, internal and external fraud
etc. Operational Risk Management Framework has been designed to provide a sound
and well-controlled operational environment and thereby mitigate the degree of
operational risk.

Annual Report | 2016 217


Approach for Calculating Capital Charge for Operational Risk
The bank applies ‘Basic Indicator Approach’ of Basel II as prescribed by BB in
revised RBCA guidelines. Under this approach, banks have to calculate average
annual gross income of last three years and multiply the result by 15% to determine
required capital charge.

Policies and processes for mitigating Liquidity Risk

The BOD assumes the responsibility of ensuring the bank’s adequate liquidity for both
normal operations and unanticipated stress events. By approving the policy statement, the
Board specifically:
Approves policy limits, monitoring and reporting systems
Sets up line management responsibilities.
Puts systems in place to review actual performance relative to policies & controls.
Hold management accountable to measure, monitor & control liquidity risk.
Regular reviews liquidity reports to ensure liquidity risk is within policy limits.
Reviews Contingency Funding Plans.

Methods used to Measure Liquidity Risk


Banks provide maturity transformation. Taking deposits that are callable on demand
or that on average has shorter maturity than the average maturity of the financing
contracts they sell. While maturity transformation provides liquidity insurance to the
depositors, which is valued by them, it exposes banks to liquidity risk themselves.
Since banks specialize in maturity transformation they take pool deposits and take
care to match their cash inflows and outflows in order to address the liquidity risk
they face. Following are the ways to measure liquidity risk:
Judging the timing of bank’s cash in- and out-flows.
Anticipating change in the cost of capital or availability of funding.
Abnormal behaviour of financial markets under stress.
Range of assumptions used in predicting cash flows.
Breakdown in payments and settlement system.
Macroeconomic imbalances.

10. Liquidity Ratio
10.1. Qualitative Disclosure
a) Views of BOD on system to reduce Excessive Leverage
Policies and processes to manage excessive On and Off-Balance Sheet Leverage
Approach for Calculating Exposure
Leverage Ratio was introduced into the Basel III framework as a non-risk based backstop
limit, to supplement risk-based capital requirements. In order to avoid building up excessive
on and off-balance sheet leverage in the banking system, a simple, transparent, non-risk
based leverage ratio has been introduced by the Bangladesh Bank. The leverage ratio is
calibrated to act as a credible supplementary measure to the risk based capital requirements.
The BOD understands that increasing quality capital base as well as reducing bad assets
is the ways to latch on to the dependency on the excessive leverage. Leverage being the
staple feature of banking business cannot be minimized but careful management would
certainly yield profit from this.
Excessive Leverage Management Policy
To manage excessive leverage, banks either have to reduce their asset base, increase
their capital, or both. It can be achieved by selling assets, reducing outstanding credit
on accounting books by calling back loans, issuing additional share capital &
retaining earnings. In many cases a combination of all these is pursued.

Exposure Calculation
To measure the exposure consistent with financial accounts, following principles are
followed:
On balance sheet, non-derivative exposures are calculated as net of specific
provisions and valuation adjustments.
Physical or financial collateral, guarantee or CRM technique is not considered
to reduce On-balance sheet exposure.
Netting of loans and deposits is not considered.
On-Balance Sheet Items are included using accounting balance sheet.

Off-Balance Sheet Items are calculated by applying a uniform 100% Credit Conversion
Factor (CCF) and for unconditionally cancellable commitments, 10% CCF is applied.

Annual Report | 2016 221


How Risk and Compliance Employees are remunerated independently
The performance of each employee is evaluated annually as per predetermined set
criteria and accordingly the result of the performance varies from one to another and
this is considered only for promotion purposes.

c) Description of the ways in which current and future risks are taken into account in the
remuneration processes

Key risks involve in Remuneration Measures


The key risks that the bank takes into account when implementing remuneration
measures are:
Default risk that arises from providing loans.
Reputation risk arising from not providing satisfactory customer services.
Liquidity risk that arises from unavailability of payment obligations.
Compliance risk arising due to comply the pay structure perfectly.

Nature and Type of the Key Measures


Risk is difficult to measure in absolute figures. Risk can be minimized in various
ways if the institutions try and take account of those risks seriously. The bank at first
makes a budget of loans, deposits and profit and tries to achieve the target by taking
measure of reducing NPL, sustaining growth rate of credit deposit ratio increasing
asset quality, minimizing cost of fund and maximizing spread of income, increasing
provision coverage ratio as well as doing compliance status accurately and
satisfactory up to the regulatory bodies from time to time.

How they affect Remuneration


Remuneration is the main and largest components of administrative cost of a bank.
So, effective management of remunerating depends on the proper implementation of
the above measures.

Key Measures: Change in last year?


No material changes had been made during the year 2016 that could affect the
remuneration.
